spitting up

My lo is 8 mo. and we've been experimenting w/ solids for about 2 mo. My new trouble is that he is constantly spitting up! Today he spit up some prunes almost 2 hours after he ate them. He's always been a bit of a spitter and is very active, but we try to keep him still after he eats (and upright). I am a little concerned, because it seems to be getting worse instead of better. I can't tell if we're trying to feed him to much, or what. Anyone have trouble w/ this??

Re: spitting up

The Seven Standards of ecological breastfeeding: (1) exclusive breasfeeding for the first 6 months (2) pacify baby at your breast (3) don't use bottles and pacifiers (4) co-sleep for night feedings (5) take a nursing nap (6) nurse frequently day and night; avoiding schedules (7) avoid practices that restrict nursing or separates you from your baby. The average return of menstruation for ecological breastfeeding mothers is between 14 and 15 months.
